C++ API
------
- - None
+ - An exception thrown by an internal function was not propagating to the
+ test program during stack unwinding, so it couldn't be caught by the
+ test and the program terminated "without an active exception." It seemed
+ that the problem happened when c_str() was used to generate an equivalant
+ const char* from a std::string and the resulting string was passed to
+ the internal function. As a work-around, we added a try/catch around
+ the the call to the internal function and when the exception is caught there,
+ it is re-thrown.
